News for the fun section. A Belgian couple whose 15 children's names are linked to Elvis Presley say they cannot think of a name for their 16th child.
Jean-Pierre and Carine Antheunis, from Gent in Belgium, are lifelong Elvis fans and their children's names include Elvis, Priscilla, Dakota and Tennessee.
But the pair have said they don't know what to call their new baby boy. "If it had been a girl we would have called her Linda. Elvis once had a lover with that name," said Jean-Pierre. "But we have run out of ideas for a boy." They are now thinking of calling him Ohio: "There's no connection with Elvis, but it's in America," he added.
Speaking to daily newspaper Het Laatste Nieuws, Jean-Pierre said they would not need to worry about finding more names in the future, as Ohio would be their last. "My wife is now 40 and we have decided to stop there. Sixteen children are enough for us," he said.

Ok, I had to post a few names for the fun of it all: Aaron/ Jesse/ Garon/ Vernon/ James/ Scotty/ J.D.
There are many names once you start thinking, perhaps a relative's name, someone ELVIS admired, a place that ELVIS loved.

I think the only ones who need to get a grip are those of you who take such things so seriously. Lighten up for goodness sake, it's only a bit of fun. Ever heard of that?

I recently became a father just one day prior till when Lisa Marie was born. Not only that but she was concieved on my first visit to graceland nine months prior. Being a huge Elvis fan I named my daughter Presley. It could also be a boys name.
